C&C Remastered & Other Compatability For Windows 11?
If you just want to play campaign/single player skirmish; get TS-DDRAW or CnC-DDRAW, plop the .dll into your RA2 folder and it should take care of the rest

[Help] Can't get RA2:YR working in Win10. Tried almost all the solutions
Get TS-DDRAW and place it on the RA2 folder

Just came in the mail! Sadly Red Alert 2 and Generals doesn’t work, but Zero hour does after patches. How come Generals was never rereleased?
For RA2/YR: You'll need TS-DDRAW if you're not going the CnCNet route.

How do I fix this? EA told me to go pound sand.
If that is too much of a hassle for you, for your specific problem; get TS-DDRAW and plop the .dll into your RA2/YR folder and it should take care of the rest. It even works for Tiberian Sun!

How is Generals Zero Hot compatibility on Windows 10?
TS-DDRAW might help. Just plop in the .dll on your TS folder and it should take care of the rest.

I have a problem with Yuri's revenge and TFD and I've not encountered it before, please help.
Not sure which one you've used, but did you try TS-DDRAW? Download the .dll and plop it to your RA2 folder. It should take care of the rest and hopefully it solves your issue.

So didn't know this but kinda funny.
If you want widescreen support on vanilla RA2/YR, use TS-DDRAW or CnC-DDRAW.

No Main Menu overlay in Red Allert 2
I'm not sure if CnCNet can be run on Linux (via Wine) or not, but you can try TS-DDRAW as it does mention it works via Wine.

A Linux User's Guide to Command & Conquer
However, if you're a diehard Linux exclusionist... option 2: Vanilla-Conquer is a project that uses the GPLed code from C&C Remastered to rebuild the original C&C executables with cross-platform support. It works... okay, allegedly, but it would probably work better if I could get it to run: In order to make Vanilla Conquer play nice, you need to have an unmodified install of C&C Gold/Red Alert, as they would have come on-disk: The installs from the CnCNet installers won't cut it. And sure, EA put up those disks for free, you can just download them, but... well, the installers are temperamental at best. I couldn't get an install off the disks because the installer kept complaining that I didn't have the disks inserted. So good luck with that. For Vanilla-Conquer there's no need to use an installer for the classics, OP, just download the free games from CNCNZ.com then extract or mount the extracted .ISO images and copy the assets over using these guides for VanillaTD & VanillaRA respectively, then you extract the files from INSTALL/SETUP.Z for C&C: Gold *(Tiberian Dawn) using either Unshield or InstallShield Extract. And for the two Red Alert expansions I just used good ol' DOSBox to run the PATCH.EXE from both expansion *.ISOs in SETUP/INSTALL/CSTRIKE.RTP for Counterstrike and SETUP/INSTALL/PATCH.RTP for Aftermath to acheive the required *.MIX assets.
